Jakarta transportation disrupted by large-scale demonstrations
Large-scale demonstrations near the DPR/MPR building in Jakarta on August 27, 2026, caused significant disruptions to transportation and public infrastructure.
PT Jasa Marga implemented several traffic engineering measures, including the temporary closure of multiple toll gates on the Jakarta Inner City Toll Road, such as Cawang, Tebet, Kuningan, and Senayan. By the morning of August 28, traffic on the Cawang-Tomang-Pluit route had returned to normal.
Transjakarta reported extensive service adjustments, with 21 routes affected. While Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) services returned to normal by August 28, several non-BRT and Transjabodetabek routes faced temporary suspensions, diversions, or shortened paths.
KAI Commuter deployed 126 security personnel to key stations, including Tanah Abang, Palmerah, and Sudirman, to manage passenger safety. Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung confirmed that public facilities damaged during the unrest, including bus stops and CCTV cameras, have since been repaired. He emphasized the right to demonstrate while urging citizens to protect public property.
